First Impressions: 10 Corso Como
With more whimsy per square inch than everything else in FiDi combined, the Seaport District outpost of Carla Sozzani's Milan institution 10 Corso Como is the polar opposite of the intentionally drab aesthetic of the Goop era. But the real star might be the restaurant.
First Impressions: Il Mulino
I was prepared for Il Mulino's new Tribeca outpost to be expensive, but $14 for a dish of olives? $65 for branzino? If the food is good, that might be justifiable. But what if it's not? / 19 comments
First Impressions: Manhatta
I almost wish Manhatta didn't have that view, as amazing as it is. Without the view, Manhatta would be the FiDi restaurant of one's dreams; with the view, I worry that it'll be impossible to drop in, and I'd like to eat there often. / 4 comments
First Impressions: Gitano
The seasonal outpost of Gitano that opened in Hudson Square is going to be huge: A little bit of Tulum has made its way to this area, along with a bit of the Meatpacking District. / 2 comments
First Impressions: Trader Joe’s
The Trader Joe's Soho store (technically in Hudson Square) opened this morning, and if you go in the next few hours, you'll get the rare opportunity to experience a Trader Joe's Manhattan store without crowds. / 17 comments
First Impressions: Tetsu
Is Tetsu a banging place for a Friday night or a restaurant to savor high-quality ingredients prepared with care? Because it seems to want to be both. / 5 comments
First Impressions: Serafina
When I imagine myself deciding to eat at Serafina, rather than one of the many other midrange Italian restaurants in this area, it's not because the food is interesting or ambitious. It's because the restaurant should be convenient and reliable. / 25 comments
First Impressions: Del Frisco’s Grille
A group of men who looked like golfers walked in. "You can see the relief on their faces," said my friend Lisa. "They're thinking, 'Maybe New York City isn't all that bad....'" / 9 comments
First Impressions: Canal Street Market Food Hall
Given the location on the edge of Chinatown, the emphasis is on Asian food—dim sum, Korean BBQ, ramen, sushi burritos, bubble tea, and so on—but you'll also find salads, Lebanese-inspired dishes, grain bowls, ice cream, pie, and smoothies. / 1 comment
First Impressions: Blue Ribbon Federal Grill
The Blue Ribbon group has grown mightily from its Soho roots—with myriad restaurants, bars, even bowling alleys—and the new Blue Ribbon Federal Grill in FiDi is its fanciest establishment so far. So how is it?
First Impressions: Kesté
If there's better pizza below Canal, I don't know it, and prices are relatively low—but don't expect to get what you don't pay for. / 8 comments
First Impressions: Ato
At the new 14-seat restaurant on Grand Street, the food combines the clarity of Japanese flavors with French richness.
